[ DISPLAYING ABSTRACT ]

Most pro football experts and the oddsmakers favor San Francisco over Dallas for the National Conference championship on Sunday. The single reason revolves around quarterbacks -- not that the 49ers' John Brodie is likely to be so good but that the Cowboys' Craig Morton might be so bad. Few people would want to be Morton in Kezar Stadium on Sunday.
